GeForce GTX 1070 Ti vs Radeon RX 6600 XT

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 6600 XT, which has a clock speed of 1968 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 2000 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It is made up of 2048 SPUs, 128 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 6600 XT		160 Watts
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		180 Watts
	Difference: 20 Watts (13%)

Memory Bandwidth

Both cards have the exact same memory bandwidth, so in theory they should have the same performance. (explain)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6600 XT will be a small bit (about 3%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti. (explain)

Radeon RX 6600 XT		251904 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		244264 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 7640 (3%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6600 XT is the winner, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 6600 XT		125952 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti		102848 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 23104 (22%)

Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
